Department of Defense Now Disallows Downloads From IBM BigFix But Airgap Does Not Download

The server used to have access to downloads from the BigFix download site, but the Department of Defense (DoD) has disabled access to the BigFix download site (I find 503 errors in logs but if I use a broswer to download the BigFix update files, you get the message "You have attempted to access a blocked website. Access to this website has been blocked for operational reasons by the DOD Enterprise-Level Protection System.Category: USCC_DCC_DENY8").

Regardless, my ILMT/BigFix installation knows about the ILMT 9.2.14.0 and BigFix 9.5.11 updates as they are listed as available fixlets. If I attempt to download the updates via the BESAirGapTool, I only get a 34MB response file and the response file uploads without issue. Subsequent to the upload of the response file, the ILMT or BigFix fixlets, still expect to be able to connect to the BigFix download site.and the updates fail at the "download" stage.

I don't see where I can removef ixlets in the console as "remove" is greyed if this is what I need to do.

How do I get this installation working in AirGap mode for these fixlets? I need to address for the DoD a CVE for the 9.5.9 BigFix that is installed.

If your objective is to upgrade Bigfix Server to the version 9.5.11, you can run these steps manually:
- download the setup to upgrade the Installation folders from:
http://software.bigfix.com/download/bes/95/BigFix-BES-9.5.11.191.exe
- execute it manually on the BigFix Server. As a result the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers" is updated (note the installation path depends on your customization)
- after the successful completion, run in sequence:
1. setup.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers\Server
2. setup.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers\Client
3. setup.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers\Console on the machines which hosts the Console
4. setup.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Installers\WebUI, if you have installed WebUI.
